The Origin of Mrs. Grundy.

Some years ago the expression,
what will Mrs. Grundy say?" was
constantly in peoples mouths. The
phrase was originally taken from Tom
Morton's comedy, "Speed the Plow."
The play opens with view of a farm
house, where Farmer Ashfield is seen
sitting at table, enjoying his ale and
holding the following colloquy with
his wife:
Ashfeld Well, dame, welcome
home. What news does thee bring
from market?
Dame-What news? What | always
told you-that Farmer Grundy's wheat
brought five shillings quarter more
than ours did.
Ashtielu--All the better for he.
Dame-And L assure you, Dame
Grundy's butter was quite the crack
of the market.
Ashtield-Be quiet, will ye? Al
ways dindinging Dame Grundy into
my ears-"What will Mrs. Grundy
say?"
The meaning OF the term "sub
rosa, under the rose," is Gin strict
confidence" Cupid gave Harpocrates
(the god of silence) rose to bribe him
not to betray the amours of Venus.
The rose thus became the emblem OF
silence. 1t was sculptured on the
ceilings of banquet rooms to remind
the guests that what was said there
was not to be repeated; and down to
1926 a rose was placed over confession

Live Stock VS.. Iron.

Kansas City is the second greatest
live stock market and packing center
in the world. This statement will
doubtless strike our many EKansas
City readers as being what is termed
in common parlance chestnut, !"
but the truth is that the supremacy OF
Kansas City as the second great beef
and pork market of the world has not
been fully recognized and appreciated
by the good people Of the staid and
patient east. The immensity of this
industry here can only be compre-
hended when it is understood that its
volume far exceeds the entire yield of
the iron industry of both OF the great
states OF Pennsylvania and Alabama.
During the year of 1886 the live stock
business transacted at Kansas City
amounted to $7O,OO0,000, while the
combined yield of the great iron inter
ests of Pennsylvania and Alabama
reached only $47 100000. Comments

no man but Morgan ever knew, TO
when a division was made it wai
found that there were only 200 pieces
of eight to each man.
When this dividend was declared e
howl of execration went up, under
which even Captain Henry Morgan
quailed. At night he.and four othel
commanders slipped their cables and
ran out to sea, and it was said tha'
these divided the greater part OF the
booty among themselves. But the
wealth plundered at Panama could
hardly have fallen short of 81 800, 900.
Computing it at this reasonable figure,
the various prizes wen by Henry Nor
gan in the West Indies would stand a.
follows: Panama, 1900, 900; Portc
Bello, $500, 900; Puerto del Principe,
$500 900; Maracaybo and Glib
rlltar, 100000; various piracie
$3.50, ,OO0-making a grand total OF
S3, $50 900 as the vast harvest OF plum
der. With this fabulous wealth,
wrenched from the Spaniards by
means of the rack and the cord, and
pilfered from his companions by th'
meanest of thieving. Capt. Henry
Morgan retired from business, hon
ored by all, rendered famous by hiS
deeds, knighted by the good King
Charles II, and finally appointed Gov
ernor of the rich Island of jamaica.
Other buccaneers followed him. Cam
peche was taken and sacked, and
even Carthagena itself fell; but with
Henry Morgan eliminated the glory
Of the buccaneers, and from that time
they declined in power and wealth and
wickedness, until they were finally
SWnnt AWAY.
